Another product of my browsing the Buon Vino website. It’s red wine, from Austria, and so it got added to the cart. That’s all there is to the reason I’m trying it. No great mysteries, backstories, long lost loves, blustery nights, or any such stuff. Just me going ‘ooh…. That sounds interesting.’ The Kamptal Kollektiv […]

Domaine Bachey-Legros Maranges Le Goty Vieilles Vignes, 2021, Burgundy

In the end, although I loved the place, it didn’t work out. More about logistics than the people, who were wonderful. Dirupi is one of the winemakers […]
